finally ended up getting my cobra... 2004 tr with 15k miles and a 75k powertrain warranty... got a good price on the car. the car has a magnaflow catback, intake, and a sct maf, took it to the track this last wednesday sacramento super speedway.. it was actually my first time ever running at the track my first run was a 13.65 @ 112.2...went up n down from there mostly in the low 13's between 13.0-13.3 my best run of the night was a 12.98 @ 111.868 with a .147 reaction i let my brother run it 2x and his best was a 12.94 @ 112, I have stock tires all the way around and i am getting almost no traction in first with a 1800 rpm launch... and I got wheel hop real bad a couple of times wich really slowed me down, I have been reading around on ways to cure this and it looks like I need upper and lower control arms, and I'm also picking up a pair of drag radials probably the nitto 555's. i've been floating around the site for quite some time, havn't posted too many times never had the car.... well I really want to better my times at the track.. I know the car can go down the 1/4 alot faster than the times i hit the way it sits... any suggestions on driving launching??? or what mods I should do next, and also I want to try and cure the wheel hop before this coming up wednesday before I go back out... any suggestions on what or what parts I should go with ??? ohh btw one more thing i'm getting a noise from the shifter when I drive .. kind of hard to describe it but it has been a constant thing ever since i've had the car... can it just be that its the shifter (stock) or can it be a throwout bearing ??? anyone else have this prob??
thanks alot jazz
